Thanks guys.....I like it also, some rough spots, but they can be polished out hopefully.

Smithson.....as for the shaggy or trimmed look, going for inbetween, I like both also, so going to just trim the real daggy bits that are hanging and leave it all still a little shaggy, just neater.

Still got the stone floors to put in.

I trialed 'Topcoate' on the stone and it does give it the wet look and seals it nice, but it is a chemical.

I did try some tung on the slate stone and it did not dry, basically stayed wet and wiped off after a week or so. But I did not try it as a mix while increasing the ratio with each coat, just used the staright oil and I did not try it on the river stone, which is more porous. So might give it a trial in an area and see how it works.
